Arborist Reportsin Rochester
Clear, independent arborist reports for Rochester property owners dealing with planning permits, insurance claims, tree disputes, and pre-purchase decisions. Each report is prepared by a qualified arborist who inspects the tree in person and documents exactly what was found. Straightforward findings you can hand to a council, an insurer, or a solicitor with confidence.

Backed by a Working Tree Crew
Reports are written by an arborist who is in the field every day, running two crews across the region with truck-mounted booms, a tight-access tower for built-up streets, rigging, and a stump grinder. If a report recommends work, the gear to carry it out is already on the road to Rochester.
- 24-metre truck-mounted boom for large takedowns
- 18-metre tight-access tower for restricted sites
- 12-inch and 18-inch wood chippers
- Loader with 1400kg log grab
- Advanced rigging and climbing equipment

Trusted by Local Homeowners
We've now had Luke & his crew do some work for us twice. Highly recommend Luke & his crew, they're awesome at what they do, clean up after themselves, every one of them is polite, knowledgeable, and just really nice guys.
So impressed with Luke and his team. The tree removal was handled efficiently and right on schedule. They were professional, well organised, and clearly knew what they were doing. Highly recommend their services.
Had Luke and his team remove 2 very large trees and grind some previously trimmed trunks. Couldn't believe how professional these guys are. Arrived on site and on time with the latest high-tech equipment. Couldn't overstate my recommendation.
Arborist Reports Questions
It depends on the scope. A straightforward single-tree report usually sits in the low hundreds, while a full development application covering several trees and protection zones costs more. Tell us what the report is for and we will give you a clear price before any work begins.
In many cases yes, particularly for protected, significant, or street-adjacent trees, and Rochester falls under Campaspe Shire Council. We prepare reports formatted to Campaspe Shire Council requirements to support a removal application. Let us know which tree you are dealing with and we will advise whether a report is the right step.
Yes. Insurance reports set out the findings, supporting photos, and clear recommendations your insurer needs to assess a claim. Given Rochester's history of flooding, this often covers flood and storm-affected trees. Share your insurer's requirements early so the report matches their format.
Most reports are delivered within five to ten business days of the site visit, depending on complexity. If you are working to a council or insurer deadline, tell us up front and we will usually turn it around faster. Call 0457 202 026 to talk through your timeline.
Yes. Reports are prepared by a qualified, fully insured arborist with the credentials councils expect for planning submissions. If Campaspe Shire Council has set particular requirements for your application, let us know at the brief and we will meet them.
Yes. Rochester sits on the Campaspe River with mature street trees and riverside gums, and these often need assessing after flooding or storms. We inspect for structural damage, root disturbance, and ongoing risk, then document it clearly. The same applies to the older trees lining residential streets.
Yes. When a matter goes beyond a written report into mediation, VCAT, or court, we can provide expert evidence and ongoing support. It helps to flag this at the brief stage so it is factored into the engagement from the start.
Yes. Every inspection, report, and any follow-up work is backed by full public liability and professional cover, so you and the parties relying on the report are protected.
